André Derain was a
French artist, painter, sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse.
Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the
Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly
innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne. The vivid, unnatural colors led
the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works as les Fauves, or
"the wild beasts", marking the start of the Fauvist movement. In
March 1906, the noted art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to
produce a series of paintings with the city as subject. In 30 paintings (29 of
which are still extant), Derain presented a portrait of London that was
radically different from anything done by previous painters of the city such as
Whistler or Monet. With bold colors and compositions, Derain painted multiple
pictures of the Thames and Tower Bridge. These London paintings remain among
his most popular work. At Montmartre, Derain began to shift from the brilliant
Fauvist palette to more muted tones, showing the influence of Cubism and Paul
Cézanne. He displayed works at the Neue Künstlervereinigung in Munich in 1910,
in 1912 at the secessionist Der Blaue Reiter and in 1913 at the seminal Armory
Show in New York.
